The liver produces, stores and releases glucose depending on the bodyâs need for glucose, a monosaccharide. This is primarily indicated by the hormones insulin - the main regulator of sugar in the blood - and glucagon. In fact, the liver acts as the bodyâs glucose reservoir and helps to keep your circulating blood sugar levels and other body fuels steady and constant.
A Dr. Sameer A. Sayeed, MD , Cardiology (Cardiovascular Disease), answered. Coronary artery disease is one of the most common diseases worldwide and is an epidemic with the frequency increasing worldwide, likely due to high fat, fast food diets, increasing obesity and smoking. The current prevalence in the US is about 7% of the US population or over 16 million people.
Coronary artery disease is most commonly due to atherosclerotic occlusion of the coronary arteries. Atherosclerosis is a process that can involve many of the bodyâs blood vessels with a variety of presentations.linically, this may result in resting angina, a critical stage of coronary artery disease. Ischemia is the result of the coronary vesselâs inability to meet the demand of the myocardium it supplies. The imbalance between supply and demand (â demand, â supply) results in ischemia.
